ASTEROID HOPPER: LANDER CONCEPTS FOR SMALL BODIES MISSIONS S. Ulamec, J. Biele German Aerospace Center (DLR), Kln, Germany, Dokumentname > 23.11.2004 Folie 2 > Vortrag > Autor Outline The investigation of small bodies, comets and asteroids, can contribute substantially to our understanding of the formation and history of the Solar System. In situ observations by Landers play an important role in this field. The Rosetta Lander Philae is currently on its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Philae is an example of a ~100 kg landing platform, including a complex and highly integrated payload, consisting of 10 scientific instruments. Other lander designs, more lightweight and with much smaller payload are currently investigated in the frame of a number of missions to small bodies in the Solar System. We will address a number of possible concepts, including mobile surface packages. Dokumentname > 23.11.2004 Folie 3 > Vortrag > Autor Background on small-body landers Historically, there are only two missions which reached the surface of a small body: the NEAR spacecraft touched down on asteroid Eros and Hayabusa attempted to take samples from the surface of Itokawa and recently returned to Earth. In-situ probes can deliver a much higher scientific return if mobility is possible to explore more than one site. We discuss mobility concepts for low-gravity environments including current developments (the MASCOT hopper). Missions aiming for sample return, e.g., asteroid sample return mission Hayabusa-2 , can be significantly enhanced by the implementation of in- situ surface packages help to constrain the geological and physical context of the samples, provide a hold on the evolutionary history of the body by probing its interior.

Total lander mass is 31 kg, 20% margins are included on each subsystem. As most components of the lander system rely on Netlander phase B developments or Philae FM parts, the design should be quite robust. Delivery is straightforward, as there is no attitude control required. Upon touchdown, two harpoons will anchor the lander and operations can be started. Instruments are assumed to be integrated primarily on the RSS. Thermal system design (large temperature amplitudes, 2:1 changes in solar insulation!) based on Philae heritage.

General Roving by wheeled vehicles is practically impossible Alternatively, surface elements could move with relatively low effort by means of propulsion systems (e.g., by cold gas thrusters) or using mechanically triggered jumping; the latter discussed in more detail hereafter. For landers without attitude control during descent, a self-rightening mechanism has to be foreseen for proper orientation on the surface after touchdown or after a mobility operation.

Some hardware changes have been implemented, to increase robustness at touch-down. However, the safe landing remains highly sensitive to actual nucleus properties, largely unknown at this time. Consequently, a dedicated mapping phase will take place several months prior to separation, acquiring data from Orbiter instruments to update environmental and surface cometary models, towards an optimized selection of the landing site and of the release strategy. Following touch-down, Philae will have mission priority over Orbiter investigations for one week After this phase, Philae will share resources with the Orbiter investigations.
